Description
This PR implements support for configuring reporters through environment variables, similar to how this is supported in the C++ version of this library: https://github.com/approvals/ApprovalTests.cpp/blob/master/doc/how_tos/SelectReporterWithEnvironmentVariable.md
The solution
As implementation, I added an additional reporter
EnvironmentVariableReporter
, that is included by default in theFrontloadedReporter
. When no environment variable is specified, this will not change the previous behaviour. When the environment variable is specified, the selected reporter(s) will be used, and will take priority over any other configured reporters - similar to the C++ version.This particular approach supports specifying multiple reporters separated by a comma. They are then embedded in a
MultiReporter
.
